One of the few purpose-built martial arts facilities in the UK, the Tokei centre has been around since 1975 and is often reckoned to be one of London's leading martial arts establishments.

Training in around fifteen different disciplines is offered each week, including ju jitsu, Chinese wu shu kickboxing, judo, karate, Olympic freestyle wrestling and Thai boxing. There are also fitness, circuit training, pilates and yoga classes available.

Although some users compete at the highest level, softer and non-contact martial arts are also practised and many members are beginners. As a non-profit organisation, the centre offers favourable rates.
